Good analogy..been mentioned before to me by Serge Oprano.
And here is where all of us fucked up by not studying history......
The people who made fortunes , real fortunes, which they kept in the gold rush were not the prospectors.(Webmasters)
It was the bankers (epoch,ccbill) the hotel keepers (National net) ..etc etc...
